The Eagles defeated the Redskins, 28–14. Its nickname comes from a pre-game boast from Eagles head coach Buddy Ryan, who told reporters his team would inflict a beating on Washington so bad "they'll have to be carted off in body bags". Then during the game, nine Washington Redskins players left with injuries, and an Eagles player reacted ---

[NFL.com](http://NFL.com) and [CBSSportsline.com](http://CBSSportsline.com) use 6 points, ESPN and Yahoo! use 4. Those are the only sites I’ve used for leagues. All other factors aside, I would call whatever [NFL.com](http://NFL.com) uses the standard. ---

[Details on McNabb’s contract.](http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5812371) It sounds like Washington’s options in the offseason will be to get rid of him, or pay him a $10 million bonus. ---

I wonder how this contract would impact him if there were to be a lockout for the full 2011 season. Seems like the deal was some necessitated by that. ---

Bizarre that they would sign an extension at the time they did, and yet leave themselves such an easy (and at this point, no-brainer) way out. It’s almost as if, internally, they were trying to apologize to McNabb but didn’t exactly go into it full-hearted. To me it seems like they’re cut to be cutting him loose after this season and there isn’t really any other way around it. ---

Maybe they’re planning to go after Vick in free agency. That’d be hilarious. ---

If Vick keeps playing the way he’s playing, I don’t think Philly is going to let him go anywhere. ---

Sure, but I don’t see him having another 6 touchdown game. The question is whether he can keep turning out 3-touchdown games, which is certainly possible. The “insiders” are already discussing Kolb’s potential trade value. He’s only going to cost the Eagles something like $3M next year, though, so they definitely need to keep him. Vick gets hurt a lot. ---

The Eagles also need to have some “Go directly to jail” insurance. This is Vick after all. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-week-10/560354.md?page=10)
